Elite NM's Need to be changed

[Ghastly]

I wanted to really like elite marks but they're not fun. At this point it's better if they make it so that the person/party that does the first hit tags the NM and no one else can fight it. Unless they join the party.

Regular marks are pretty fun though but I wish they would be more difficult...

And it was all ideas that caused launch to fail. .

The original launch failed because of a LACK of content. Its a completely different issue.

But on that note, I do agree that hunts probably need to be adjusted. People do need to keep in mind though that these types of adjustments are going to take time, unless the hunts are bugged in some way. The Dev team responded to the community's requests for both Open World content and NMs in games but it will undoubtedly need some finessing. By all means, please keep the critiques and opinions coming, but keep in mind that the changes won't be instant.

S ranks seem to be Odin and Behemoth: 2.0. Seem to spawn on multiple servers at the same time, everyone zerg rushes them and that's it.
No hunting involved, just be there at the time.
i.e. all day every day.

The system will be fine in a couple weeks. Everything is just borked right now beacuse the patch JUST hit. Once the inital rush of "MUST TRY NEW CONTENT" dies down, the open world will be healthier for this system.

I still think it could use a little work rather than just waiting and letting people quit because they are frustrated with how the system works.

They need to add a real time scaling system is all.

FATEs suffer the same issue. Trying to finish a boss FATE that is 10-20 man scaled because of the previous clear by yourself is just futility.

Stop making sense! Making sense has no place in a whine thread!

I feel like if they made huge adjustments to marks now they would need to just make adjustments again in 4 weeks when all the people that came back to sub for a month for patch unsub again.

I mean, I don't know where to get server pop/login information, but I feel like there is at least a 25% increase in the amount of people that are on, couple that with people head-smashing new content, and the fact that we really don't have all the details and we might just be OK.

For instance...20 marks for Nauld? Pssshaawww - I'm going to hunt the other marks. The question is what zones are they in?

This is what the hunts are like.
That hell claw went down in 3 seconds, it didn't even finish a single cast of Counter Maneuvers.

Isnt this EXACTLY what people were asking for with NM's? Some rare exclusive monster that is basically a first come first served reward? What am I missing?

it's not first come first serve though, the HP for some are so low that if there's enough people there, each person gets in 1 or 2 hits and no one gets full credit.

i thought they would be more like Treasure Maps actually, you get your bill and you go spawn them at a specific time/place with specific actions.
